I am excited to post almost daily to this blog! There are countless methods to organize one's life. One method works for one person, another method works better for another. Sometimes I think that one way of organizing works for me one day, and another the next. I can be a very scattered person. I think that is partly why I love to focus on organizing. Life is less complicated, work is easier, and I feel more peaceful and competent when my environment is organized.

Organizing can be hard. It can be fun. It often means letting go of activities that are too much to fit into one's life. I am setting aside activities I love so that I can prepare for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Violin lessons can wait. Hiking which I love can wait. There is a benefit to setting aside hiking at this time. It is summer. Hiking means ticks. I would love it if someone - anyone - could tell me why they have become a plague in the woods and fields? I have a theory. I will keep it to myself so that your ideas are not swayed by mine.

My schedule at this time is a lot more rigid than I would like it to be. But that will enable me to get my work done, and to have time to enjoy a few things that I will not put aside at this time.
